Well, look at the Finale Jazzcord font set I linked to. Is it possible to get all those symbols as easily as any other? I don't see how I could do half of them without some really unwiedly typesetting of markup and lyrics. If nothing else, you could leave the system as it is, if you like Ignatzek and/or note linking so much. But perhaps allow for all those symbols I proposed as part of chords mode, NOT linked to any set of notes. So there would be chords in chords mode that only specify sets of symbols. I think using lyrics mode for chord symbols is rather counterintuitive, don't you think? Chords mode should (ideally) cover everything you want to do with chords. Perhaps you could set a mode inside chords mode that would divorce you from the default setting, and leave you to play with the fonts and symbols that you have, without the current restrictions. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
